Eh, people hear what they want to hear anyway. I can recall many a time when someone who owned a stock asked my opinion about the company's prospects. I tell them as delicately as possible that I don't think they have any prospects, only to have them thank me saying, "Oh good, now I feel better about holding it." All the while I'm thinking how could they have possibly interpreted what I said to be positive? I guess I should stop trying to soften the blow, just say something like, "The company is a POS, the people who run it are idiots and they'll never make a dime and even if they don't go chapter 11 it's dead money for YEARS." -g-
